@TBlake34 Well these right wing idiots were told that FC2008 was caused by the sub-prime mortgages and those poor fat-cat bankers were "forced" to lend money to a bunch of broke-ass motherfuckers who can't make payment. If that is the case, Ben Bernanke would be right when he stated prior to the implosion that this will affect only the sub-prime market. It turns out that the entire global financial system was affected.

Regardless of weather one likes or dislikes Taibbi - Give'm props for tenaciously going after this issue.

The Great Distraction
The right wing has become so hypnotized with bogey man issues that they cannot see the real threat from Wall Street. The day I watched Inside Job was the day I turned my political rudder towards the Wall Street Oligarchy that's neatly embedded in the White House.
Liberals don't get it either - criticize Obama for his appointments and then we have the race card played. This country has lost sight of what's important: the economy.

@qkholster ...right, it is important to remember it was Greenspan who told Born to sit down and shut up when she wanted these junk, shitty derivatives regulated.
But Taibbi is just an aspiring elitist-journalist wannabe posing (not very well) as a muckraker who can't hide his disdain for the peasantry and just exudes arrogance.

@Stan1208 he was bought and paid for by the same criminals that buy the republicans..I never thought it was true but the elite do pick who is the president and the election is just a scam

No mention of the Federal Reserve in creating this whole mess?

the business world is incestuous and so is the government with their revolving door system

I love Taibbi but I have to correct him on this: the Jamie Rubin in the Obama administration is not the son of Bob Rubin. Bob Rubin's son Jamie is a different Jamie Rubin.
Pay attention to this, right wing idiots, this is a REAL problem.
There are issues that need to be dealt with that directly concern the identity of the American system. Instead of getting hysterical about made-up bullshit like death panels, birth certificates, and FEMA camps, focus on how the monied power structure works against your interests.
My guess is that about 80% of the country is firmly against economic oligarchs, but inability to identify ACTUAL issues keeps us separated.

Obama sold us a line of goods and we fell for it hook line and sinker. What a bunch of suckers americans are.
